Germany are back in action with a UEFA Nations League fixture this week as they take on Hungary on Thursday.
Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will be determined to win this game.
Hungary are at the top of Group 3 in the UEFA Nations League and have been in excellent shape this year. The Magyars stunned England with a 4-0 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
Germany, on the other hand, are in second place in the group and are yet to hit their stride in this edition of the competition. Die Mannschaft thrashed Italy by a 5-2 scoreline in June this year and will look to replicate that form in this match.
Germany vs Hungary Head-to-Head
Germany have a slight edge over Hungary and have won 13 out of the 36 matches played between the two teams. Hungary have managed 11 victories against Germany and will look to cut the deficit in this fixture.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in June this year and ended in a 1-1 draw. Both teams squandered chances on the day and will need to be more clinical this week.
